The Bus

the fleet vagabond VW Bus wanderer


Sometimes called Jerry, more often referred to as simply as "The Bus," this 1979 VW Tintop has been in our family since March 2003. In the winter of 2015-16, we had the engine rebuilt. Our mechanics loved us so much that Christmas that they gave us all matching shop tshirts! It's still pretty much stock...aside from the z-bed we put in. We still have a laundry list of things we'd like to do to it when time and money allow.

  • have working headlights UPDATE: fixed the relay switch. Headlights work 8/2018
  • install a sound system that allows us to still use the windshield wipers
  • make a kitchen box
  • stop the shifter rattle UPDATE: finished 2/2019
  • sound insulate the walls UPDATE: finished 9/2020
  • new door panels: UPDATE: back panel replaced 6/2019
  • door latches and locks that work: UPDATE: finished 2/2019

    I received the airplane sticker today, and thank you for the little bonus sticker. BTW, along with flying we have two VW buses ourselves. One also equipped with a Z bad my husband installed… Small world. We like Jerry!!!
